Mai Xuan Hang, a player of Ho Chi Minh City’s table-tennis team

Most members of Ho Chi Minh City’s table-tennis team have asked to stop playing for the city, upset with the behavior of the sport’s department chief.

Their complaints were mainly directed at Nguyen Thi Lanh, chief of the table-tennis department.

Tran Anh Tuan, father of Tran Nguyen Thanh Truc, said: “We can’t stand Lanh’s arbitrary way and lack of respect for other people.

“Lanh frequently reprimands players during a match or right after they’ve finished.”

Nguyen Thanh Rum, Director of HCMC’s Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, planned to meet the players and parents next Tuesday (February 9) but later asked Deputy Director Nguyen Hung to meet with them last Friday (February 5).
